SECTION 13070
BULLET RESISTANT HOLLOW METAL FIXED WINDOWS (cont.)
Frames shall be a protection level equal to or greater than the glazing. Frame modules shall be
of a “non ricochet type” design, constructed of brake formed commercial grade cold rolled 16 ga.
Steel lined with UL LISTED BULLET RESISTANT ARMORTEX® FIBERGLASS OR
HARDENED STEEL. Steel shall be free of scale, pitting, coil breaks and the full length of the
intersection. Knocked down and mechanical joints are unacceptable. Frame modules shall be
capable of being joined with other frame modules to form a continuous hard line. Replacement
of glazing shall be from the secure side of the window or wall unit and will not require the
removal of the frame from the opening. Armored protection shall provide overlap from fixed
frame to operable frame to glazing when viewed from a perpendicular axis at zero degrees
obliquity. The side hung operable frame shall be mounted with a select SL 11 HD continuous
hinge. ((Optional)) Keyed locks are required on all operable frames.
2.2 GLAZING
The glazing must be UL Listed Level________((specify level 1 thru 8 or 30-06 Armor Piercing))
